Lesley Patek (left) accepted the check, on behalf of the Shelter. Tutt was one of 12 winners in a nationwide model search by the fashion retailer last year. As part of her winnings, she was given a photo shoot at an iconic fashion shoot destination, $1,500 in maurices clothing, and a $7,500 charitable makeover for a nonprofit organization in or near her hometown. She chose the Chillicothe Animal Shelter as that organization, and officially presented the check at a meet-and-greet event Wednesday.
